Release Manager

About Your Role:

Join the Clover Release Engineering and Management team and play a key role in delivering seamless software that powers commerce for hundreds of thousands of merchants worldwide. As a Release Manager, you'll orchestrate complex, full-stack releases across our custom hardware, cloud-based POS software, and thriving App Market. If you are passionate about streamlining processes, building automation, and maximizing product quality, we want you on our team.

What you’ll do:

• Manage end-to-end software release workflows by working closely with technical leads, product owners, QA, infrastructure, and external teams to ensure everything runs smoothly. 
• Identify and drive improvements in how we plan, coordinate, and deliver releases—you’re always looking for smarter, faster, and more reliable ways to get code into production. 
• Track progress and timelines to make sure releases land on schedule with minimal service disruption. 
• Own the release calendar and keep everyone informed—communicating schedules clearly and coordinating across teams so nothing slips through the cracks. 
• Flag risks early, manage scope changes, and solve release-related issues before they become blockers. 
• Run release readiness and milestone reviews to ensure every deployment is backed by thorough planning and stakeholder alignment. 
• Maintain a well-organized release repository with essential documentation like build procedures, dependencies, and communication lists. 
• Represent the team in weekly CAB (Change Advisory Board) meetings, sharing details on release scope, timelines, and potential impacts. 
• Provide guidance to development and QA teams on best practices for source control and configuration management. 
• Stay curious and collaborative—research new tools and partner with analysts and admins to improve how we manage code, deploy updates, and support our platform.
• Responsibilities listed are not intended to be all-inclusive and may be modified as necessary.

Experience you’ll need to have:

• Bachelors or Masters STEM major (Science, Technology, Engineering or Math), or equivalent combination of experience, education and military.
• 3-5 years of hands-on experience as a Release Manager working with technical teams developing software solutions. 
• Experience with DevOps tools such as Git, Jenkins, Gerrit, Phabricator, or Puppet to support build, integration, and deployment pipelines.
• Deep knowledge of the software development lifecycle and experience applying Agile, Scrum, and Waterfall project management methodologies.
• Experience with environment management, release management, code versioning, deployment methodologies, DevOps practices, and CI/CD tools.
• Experience with database design concepts and use of SQL.
• Experience with API and Web Services (REST/SOAP). 
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate across technical and non-technical teams.

Experience that would be great to have:

• Previous experience working with Point of Sale (POS) systems or in the payments industry. 
• Familiarity with automation frameworks and practices in a DevOps environment. 
• Background in high-availability or business-critical software systems.
• Experience coordinating releases across distributed teams or multi-module applications.
• A proactive mindset with a passion for improving deployment efficiency and process optimization.
